Last week I attended the Lifestyle Interventions Conference in Las Vegas.
I talked about erotic recovery after an affair. There were a lot of questions after my talk about pornography and how erotic imagery on the computer can turn masturbation into a compulsive repetitive act that drains sexual energy out of the marriage. That’s true for some people. But it doesn’t have to be that way for all couples. Looking at pornography occasionally doesn’t make you a sex addict. In fact, some people use it to stay monogamous. They avoid the dilemma of long term committed partnership that can lead to boredom and sexual shutdown and they stay true to their partner by finding variety and adventure online without cheating in real time with a person outside of their marriage or committed partnership. But for those couples where a real time affair does occur, seeking out a therapist who has experience helping couples move through the stages of recovery is important. Both partners can feel frustrated and even hopeless after one partner cheats and they may need professional help. Find a therapist who can help.
